Ever since Josh and I got married, we have dreamed of having a garden. We did get a garden plot last summer at Baity Hill, and we got a few zucchini from it, but for the most part it wasn’t very fruitful. This summer, because of the move and the time it took us to get […]

So, once upon a time, we got a new house with a fantastic and very spacious back yard. Just a few weeks ago, I was wondering why the kids and I spend so little time in it. Is it too hot? Not enough shade? But after some serious contemplation, I realized that the reason we […]

We have been a busy bunch through the month of August. We have been to a family reunion, been to a wedding, gone camping and 4-wheeling, hosted gatherings, finally got a new pediatrician, I attended education week, Josh has gone to work, and the kids have done their thing wherever they are. I am apparently really […]

Can I be real with you all for a second (aka: post)? Sometimes motherhood is stinkin’ hard! Some days, you wake up and you think, “Yeah, maybe I’d rather write a research paper  than ‘ride a dragon’ with Rapunzel one more time.” or “Why can’t kids just be kennel trained?”  Some days you are so […]

It’s crazy to think that we have now been in Utah for 5 weeks! We are totally loving it here! We love being so close to so many people we have missed so much! We love having our own house and yard and garage! I love that when I went to the temple on Saturday only […]

Fay’s birthday marked the beginning of a very large string of events that have led us to where we are now. I will give you the “bulleted” version May 7: Fay turned 3, Josh’s mom came to visit for graduation and help us pack May 8: My dad arrived for graduation May 9: Josh graduated […]

Today, Fay turns 3 years old! The other night, I told her the story of when she was born. She couldn’t believe that she was so small and it is even hard for me to believe how tiny she actually was. When she was born, I was convinced that she was the most beautiful thing that […]

  Our little Buddy-Boo (coined by Josh) turns one year old today! I’m pretty sure that it took Fay about three times as long to turn a year old as it did for Carter. It seems like barely any time ago that I posted pictures like this for the first time: Here’s a little bit […]

I feel like so much is going on for us right now; and yet, we have so few pictures of what is going on. I think that is because a lot of what is going on is involved with our house hunt in Utah, of which we don’t have pictures because we have not actually […]

I feel like a post with little explanation and many pictures is in order.  So here’s all the explanation you get this time: We had pi day with friends. We had St. Patrick’s Day. And we’ve had lovely weather!
